Can Prolia be safely and reasonably discontinued?

I recently had to stop taking Prolia due to development of MRONJ. Fosamax would not work for me because of the MRONJ, but my Doctor has recommended tymlos as an alternative treatment for osteoporosis. If tymlos doesn't work, I am also going to review the option of Evista which is an estrogen treatment. Take care!

Just want to clarify that Evista is not an estrogen treatment, but is a SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator). This is important because estrogen increases breast cancer risk. Evista does have a risk of blood clots for some but does not carry the same breast cancer risk as estrogen does.
